Drama

I went to Battery Park a few days ago to get some shots but the weather was not very cooperative in allowing me to get the usual color saturation that i like. Since nature is the boss i had to submit, so i decided to fiddle with a little black and white instead. It's not really my thing, as you can see from the other posts here on the blog but this shot had such drama in it that i couldn't resist.

Trust

I was in my backyard and saw this dragonfly. Of course I immediately wanted to take some shots but the second I approached it, it flew off! Which in my case has always been the experience. A few minutes later he decided to come back and displayed a healthy serving of "Trust". I was mere centimeters away from him, but he just sat there and allowed me to take quite a few shots. It was great! I did it in black and white because I liked the way it emphasized the pattern of its wings.
